It is true that some animals may be able to recognize and respond to music, however, it does not negate the original premise of Nikhil's essay which is that for the majority of animals, the doorbell is their "jam". This observation has been made time and time again, with anecdotal evidence coming from pet owners who have tried to gauge a response from their furry friends.
No matter how much evidence may appear to suggest that some animals may respond differently to music, it doesn't change the fact that they are still not as excited as they are when they hear the doorbell. For instance, studies have shown that while dogs may be able to recognize certain words and even respond to specific types of music, they still become far more enthusiastic when they hear the familiar sound of the doorbell.
When it comes to understanding why animals are more enthused by the doorbell than by music, the explanation is simple: music is abstract and the doorbell is a clear sign of something specific happening. It could be the arrival of a friend, a package from an online order, or even just a familiar visitor - something that animals can pick up on immediately.
So it's wrong to suggest that animals don't prefer the doorbell over music - that's been proven through years of observations and anecdotes! Plus, it's much easier to train them to recognize the sound of a doorbell than it is to get them to appreciate a Beyonce song.
